Got a Teac a4010s model AR-405 & the speed is too fast (which im going to send off on its way) How do i adjust it ? Also i have a Teac RA-405 that looks the same on front BUT different on the connections on back. Is the AR older ? I havent researched the history & thought id ask some long time users which unit is classified as better/worse & maybe some history on Teacs. Thank you in advance. Randy

    Well Well Well..... I feel like a DUMB A$$..... I finally decided to read. Can you imagine that. I read the manual-which i HAVE !!!! I lubed the pinch roller & took off the other thingy like the book shows & oiled the motor on inside - LIKE THE BOOK SAYS.... It now works absolutely beautiful. I cant tell my wife this cause she will laugh at me & say-told you so. This unit is quite the unit.
